I don't know. I'm 98% sure that they don't. I've seen this book and it says that the female tends to the young for something weeks. But male hamsters will eat the babies. A kid at my school said that the rat dad ate one of his babies so I'm sure that male hamsters will, too.

never ever put syrian or dwarf hamsters cannot be put together because they fight but boys and girls do not (but they have babies obviously!) they fight and it can lead to death!!! :(so dont do it!!! Edit: Actually, male and female hamsters will also fight in between mating and the male will eat the babies or stress out the mother so much that she will eat them. Hamsters are solitary creatures by nature and so it is best to keep them apart once they aren't babies anymore.

Syrian hamsters or dwarf hamsters?

I recommend getting a dwarf hamster because dwarf hamsters are less territorial and most of the time can be kept together in the same cage. If you put two Syrian hamsters together they will fight to the death.
